Right, so to explain, this was the second party at Stanhope Road (Mark, Anthony, Muriel and Sam's house), which occured on Friday 26th May 2000. The theme was along the lines of anyone influential from the last 2000 years, which made it just about as broad as possible really. These pictures were taken mostly by John (that's me that is), although other drunken guest photographers may have taken some of the crapper ones. I didn't get there until after 11, due to being crap and disorganised. I stayed until about 4 (apparently), at which point the party had pretty much finished (again, apparently), but after 3 I was way too drunk to take pictures or do just about anything else really, come to think of it.

This is a picture of Rob groveling!

23:28:58
Byrnie AKA Sir Isaac Newton. Get it? This pose is meant to be "on the verge of something momentous".
There is a double joke here and it's extremely sad.

23:34:30
A rather unconvincing John Lennon (Lemon?), and a slightly more convincing Yoko Ono.
Note the sign on John's shirt. This also contains the phrase "I am John Lennon" in Japanese,
although it was later questioned as to whether or not that was what it actually said.
Apparently in Japan there are well over 50 different Kanji meaning English people
are stupid and gullible.

23:35:05
John Lennon and Kevin Warwick, both of whom have had unwanted metal objects in them at some
point in their career. (sorry).

23:37:55
Sir Isaac Newton ponders with a subtle feeling of guilt whether or not everyone will work
out that the whole gravity thing was just a daft laugh.

23:38:13
John and Aki (apparently a famous Japanese writer).

23:40:24
Samdiana Jones (hmmm haven't we seen that hat before) and Clare, errr, just Clare really.

23:44:34
Coralie removes something red and alcoholic from the front of her toga. She is someone
famous, greek, and therefore probably dead.

23:49:26
Chie and Aki find something out of shot quite amusing.

23:50:13
Dancing seems to be occuring here.

23:50:52
Farewell, my concubines...(?!)

23:51:37
John shows his love for existentialism in a very real and tangible way.

23:55:17
Ben has a bearded parrot on his shoulder. No news there then.

00:06:53
Jim and Mark demonstrate mutual repulsion.

00:10:52
Byrnie appears to have cast away the trappings of one of history's greatest minds by this
point.

00:14:26
Raising the question, if Kevin Warwick were a pirate, what would he be called?

00:15:31
John in a throwback to the Yellow submarine days.

00:16:00
Kanako scares us all into not wanting to wear the pirate hat any more.

00:16:49
A bit dark here isn't it?

00:18:08
Tooo.... much... symbolism...

00:21:31
Must be during some dance or something.

00:22:38
In a freak accident, Kanako's cheek collides with Rob's mouth, simoultaneously with the
camera being pointed in their general direction.

00:23:18
Kanako reassuring us that kamikaze culture is alive and well in Japan.

00:27:48
Long John Plato, the little known philosopher-pirate.

00:27:58
Proof that Rob is the bad angel on Ben's shoulder.

00:28:07
Coralie compares the merits of a flexible versus the more conventional fixed rate mortgage.

00:28:27
Just to clarify, Mark in now way looks camp in this picture. Oh no.

00:31:50
I think Mark was responsible for this picture. Mental note, must show him where the viewfinder is.

00:37:56
This here is the second picture in which Graham appears, and boy is it a classic. Here
the man himself appears with his good lady Muriel sharing an affectionate glance
reminscent of the ambience created in Clarence Bjornson's last novel "An Affair and
a Shoehorn". May I add this is one of the greatest works of the 19th century and heavily
underrated as such. I blame that bloody Jane Austen. Anyway, Graham here is really on top
form.
